Katie Noska

Dental Assistant

Katie Noska is one of our excellent dental assistants. Katie grew up in the Lehigh Valley and continues to live here with her fiancé and 12 year old son. In 2004, she attended the Lehigh Valley School of Dental Assisting and graduated with her certification in dental assisting and x-ray license. In her spare time, Katie loves spending time with family and friends. She loves to cook and try new things. One of her favorite things to do is learn about astronomy and the ancient civilizations that followed the stars. She loves movies about aliens and any sci-fi movie is right up her alley (as long as it’s not too scary!).

She would love to travel to Ireland and Scotland someday and learn about her family tree. Much of her work experience has been with general dentistry, but after switching to pediatrics, Katie found she genuinely loves working with children and enjoys pediatric dentistry much more than general dentistry. She works wonderfully with children and is an amazing asset to our office.
